Item 7(c). Exhibits
Exhibit 99 Press Release: "PERRIGO COMPANY REPORTS FISCAL 2003 EARNINGS OF $0.76
PER SHARE"
ITEM 12. Disclosure of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On August 11, 2003, the Perrigo Company released earnings for fourth quarter and
year end for fiscal 2003.
The earnings release contains a non-GAAP measure which is defined as a financial
measure of the Company's performance that excludes or includes amounts thereby
differentiating it from the most directly comparable measure presented in the
financial statements that are calculated and presented in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Pursuant to the requirements of
Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation within its earnings
release to the most directly comparable GAAP measure for this non-GAAP measure.
The Company excludes unusual litigation income and restructuring and impairment
charges related to the Mexico operations when monitoring and evaluating the
on-going financial results and trends of its business due to the non-recurring
nature of this item. The Company believes this information is also useful for
investors since excluding these non-recurring items provide important insight
into the Company's ongoing operations.
The press release related to Perrigo's earnings is attached as Exhibit 99.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirement of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
